20 years as an Army Cavalry Scout taught me one habit: keep your eyes on the horizon.
These days that horizon is orbit. I'm a builder in Central Texas, and I'm watching SpaceX, Starship, Tesla, and NASA push it further out every month. I'll be posting what I notice, along with the Linux rigs I build for my kids along the way.
If you're watching the same horizon, follow along.
I could watch this moment over and over again. It’s a powerful reminder that every failure, every setback, and every moment of doubt can lead to something extraordinary.
Sometimes, all it takes is that one breakthrough. That one moment when years of hard work, persistence, and refusing to give up finally pay off.
And when it happens, everything changes.
Keep building. Keep learning. Keep pushing forward. Your breakthrough might be closer than you think.
Central Texas business owners: before you replace an office PC because it's "slow," get it diagnosed.
Slow can mean a failing drive, not enough memory, or years of junk loading at startup. Some of those are cheap fixes.
Ask for a diagnosis before a quote.
Most small businesses don't need an AI strategy. They need one boring task gone.
Pick the thing someone retypes every week: invoices into the books, web leads into a spreadsheet, appointment reminders.
Automate that first. Then decide if you want more.
I love Omarchy so much that it's on every machine in my house.
I built my business workstation on it, then took two old Dells and an Alienware and set them up with Omarchy for my kids.
Old hardware isn't dead. It just needs a better OS.
If an API key has ever been pasted into code, a doc, or a chat, assume it can leak.
Researchers found 26,400 working cloud and AI keys in public Github repos, some years old.
Keep keys in a password manager. Rotate them. Revoke them when people leave.

The Army taught me to build a PACE plan: Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency. Four ways to keep talking, in order, before you need them.
Small business version:
Internet goes down. How do you take a card?
Email goes down. How do customers reach you?
Write it down now.

🚨 Elon Musk has dropped an unprecedented bombshell—right inside the White House, in front of Donald Trump: 💥🇺🇸
“From now on, you will no longer need to work for any company... I will make sure everyone on Earth enjoys a celebrity-level lifestyle and income!”
Musk is completely challenging the traditional concept of government-provided “Universal Basic Income” (UBI) designed merely for survival, presenting a radical vision of a new form of capitalism.
According to Musk, how will everyone become wealthy? 👇
As AI and robots produce goods and services 24/7 without limits, the overall standard of living for all humanity will skyrocket—as if everyone were earning an astronomical salary.
Musk confidently declares: “Everyone will have access to better healthcare than I personally receive!” Through the combination of superintelligent AI and precision surgical robots, top-tier medical care could become available to everyone at virtually no cost.
AI will handle the thinking, while robots build roads and structures, grow crops, and manufacture products. With forced labor becoming a thing of the past, the phrase “I don't have enough money to buy what I need” could disappear from the human vocabulary entirely!
While 99% of humanity worries that “AI will take their jobs,” Musk envisions a future where an army of autonomous robots will turn every single person into a king—living a life of total ease!

2. List the apps your business can't live without before you switch. Browser-based tools usually just work. One desktop-only program can be the dealbreaker.
1. Start on a spare machine, not the one that runs payroll. Or dual boot. Omarchy supports both a full-disk install and dual boot.
